Oh dear, Harp, what have they done to you now?

Excuse me...anyone out there?

hewwo?

I can't believe what they have done to make me even more pathetic...

i think i need a hug.

I had to spend the day at the vet and get an injection for my heart worm treatment today.

i'm pretty sure it was cruel and unusual torture. and i think i died. 

like this.

what?  you don't believe me?!

Since it must be given via intramuscular injection in my back they had to shave a stupid square out of my fur!

 i'm hideous.

 And since I'm still on crate rest for another 2 months...I'm all kinds of bored.

 if i see one more kong, i will throw it at you.

 maybe if i make a break for it now, no one will notice...

 Hey now, Harp...if you run away, where do you think you are going to get your next dinner?

*sigh*

At least we are going to the NEBCR Reunion this weekend at Sugar Bush Farm...right?

I mean you have all that camping stuff ready to go and all...

Foster mom?

Yes, Harp...but you can't play in the yard at all, are you ok with that?

as long as i get to be outside and be sit with you...i guess so.  *pout*

For the NEBCR volunteers and past adopters attending, see you at the NEBCR Reunion!
(to RSVP go here)

(and make sure to stop by and give poor pathetic Harp some pity)

and snacks! 

Yes, Harp, and they should give you some snacks.

woohoo!

Quade's Olympic Tryouts

Quade might be a little late to make the 2012 London Olympics, but we know this loving boy will be just as eager to please and play with some lucky family four years down the road.

In the meantime, he's been practicing his moves.  Gold medal performances all the way!

Eve the Helpful

Hi everyone!  Eve here.

Just wanted to let you all know I'm working on being helpful around the house.  Like the other day, I  tried to help Foster Mom make the bed.

But instead of saying 'thank-you' she said 'you-are-so-silly' and showed me a tug toy she needed taken off a door instead.

Haven't got it off yet, but I'm working on it.  Gotta have something to do while I wait for my forever family to find me.

Love,
Eve

Harp fights another battle

Please keep Harp in your thoughts as he has begun his treatment for Heartworm which was discovered during a recent routine vet appointment.  Heartworm can take up to 6 months to test positive and can be asymptomatic for longer.  So, while he has been protected from reinfection by being on preventative since entering rescue, any infection he picked up before that was not caught on initial tests.

This sad pathetic face will now be a constant sight from behind crate bars for the next several weeks.

 

He would like to let you know that crate rest and leash walks only for going potty is the pits, and he will let you know loudly especially if he thinks someone else might be playing without him.


One leash has met its end when the normally well exercised and therefore well behaved Harp turned into a whirlwind of stir craziness and pulled a bunch of items on top of his crate through the bars.

And we are on day 4 of *MANY*...there are not enough stuffed Kongs in the world.



Keep Harp's foster mom in your thoughts as well because, dog help her, she's going to need it.


Thank you for your thoughts and support!  It is because of efforts by NEBCR volunteers and supporters that we are able to help dogs like Harp.

Mostly we just want Harp to get back to doing things like this:







Harp will be temporarily unavailable until he is healthy again, but you can read more about him and other current dogs awaiting their forever homes on the NEBCR website available dogs page.

Her Royal Houndness, Katherine Grace

Her Royal Houndness Katherine Grace has had quite a time over the past twelve months.


She's surveyed her queendom many times and visited her loyal subjects frequently in the last year.

Wouldn't you like to give her a nice place to relax after such a grueling reign?





You can find out all about her at the NEBCR website on her official biography page.

Harp's Amazing Journey

Today, Harp is almost unrecognizable from the dog he used to be nine months ago.

Today, Harp wags his tail and has bright eyes.

Today, Harp plays with his foster brother and chases after toys.

 

Today, Harp craves attention and seeks to be with people.

Today, Harp knows love and affection and safety and happiness.

Harp is well on the road to recovery, he just needs a loving forever home to continue with him on that journey...




Harp is available for adoption on the NEBCR website.
Please have an approved application on file before inquiring about Harp or the other currently available dogs.
